“Got this from a copycat website it is the closest thing I have found so far. Very tasty. The rising time is included in cooking time.” And it’s pretty darn close! Ingredients
4 cups flour
1 1/3 cups water
4 teaspoons butter
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons yeast
garlic powder
Directions
In your stand mixer or bread machine mix 4 cups flour, 1 1/3 cup water, 4 tsp butter, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp yeast.
Divide it into 16 peices.
Cover and let rise until doubled about 45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Melt remaining 2 tsp butter in a bowl and thinly brush the breadsticks once.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Brush with butter again and top with garlic powder to your liking.
2 lbs of lean ground beef 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 Tablespoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup finely crushed Italian bread crumbs 2 eggs
Mix all the ingredients together (preferably with your hands) until all are combined. Shape into ping pong ball sized meatballs. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. This makes about 50 meatballs and if you don’t use them all in your sauce you can freeze them in a zipper baggie and take out as many as you need.
Sauce: 3 cans or jars of your favorite cheap spaghetti sauce 2 cans diced tomatoes 1 small onion, finely chopped 3 Tablespoons chopped garlic 1 can tomato sauce 1 can tomato paste dash or two of hot sauce 1/2 cup Italian seasoning sugar to taste (We like a sweet sauce and use 1/2 to 3/4 cup of s, brown ugar) 2 lbs. cooked ground beef or the Worlds BEST meatballs.
Mix the sauce ingredients together and put into your slow cooker in the morning. Add cooked group beef or meatballs or a mixture of both. Let it simmer all day on low until you’re ready to serve over the noodle of your choice. And garlic bread. You have to have garlic bread! Or try it with the Olive Garden Breadstick Clone!
